Some of my favourites (both artistically and musically):

John Christ basically got sidelined from some bad arm or hand injury (guess I’ll hit Wiki later) about 10 years back.
Biscuits had a run with Social D and then vanished like DB Cooper. I think I found his Facebook page once and it hadn’t been touched for 4 years. I really liked that dude. He seemed like the one I would most want to hang out with, and I really liked his style of drumming too.
Eerie had some post-Danzig solo stuff he was tinkerin’ with. I don’t remember if I ever bothered listening to any of it.
Praxis ‘Mutatis Mutandis’ had a similar look to it; also love the covers for ‘Sacrifist’ and ‘Metatron’ - fits the mental overload effect of the music quite well.
Agreed. I own most of the albums you’ve just mentioned. Huge Praxis / Axiom Dub fan here.
There’s a great track on that Axiom lp. It’s called Fall Of The Towers Of Convention by Scarab.
Everybody should experience that track at least once in their lifetime.

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Chuck back in the mid 90’s in San Francisco- about a year or so after he was fired from Danzig. Really lovely guy, but a bit hardcore when it comes to drugs and liquor. He was smashed at the time and hanging out with some skinhead girl when I came across him. It’s a shame when genuinely good people end up like that. He didn’t have much to say about Danzig other than to make snide references to “Napoleon” and considered the last album he made with Danzig as being “not really indicative of where the band wanted to go”.
He was good friends with Christ but seemed to not rate Eerie and Glenn as highly.
Hope he’s ok. I think I still have the doodle he scribbled onto a napkin and signed for me.

Yeah I think I know the one you’re mentioning - another all-time favorite from that era was the self-titled LP from ‘Ebn E Sync,’ a real sophisticated stand-out at a time when the so-called ‘electronica boom’ was otherwise giving people license to toss quality control out the window.
His last work was 1999. There was a death hoax 5 years ago and he never cared to even weigh in to confirm himself alive.
I really hope he’s alright, but I’d heard he was caught up in the drug stuff too, so I’d be a bit worried for the chap.

Almost posted this one since it’s the only album cover of theirs that truly impressed me. The only others I liked were A Quick Fix Of Melancholy and Lyckantropen Themes.
Huge fan of Shadows of the Sun…they took that image from National Geographic…
Ebn n Sync was an incredible dub record…
Scarab put out two great records on Wordsound…I especially like the second one…Scarab was basically just another of Skiz’ aliases…

Actually it’s from Natural History Magazine.

It’s a “shopping list” of pretty much every expense that was rung up while preparing for the album launch.
ie This album cost THIS much to make.
It unfolds to about 8 panels long.
Of expenditure items.
Absolutely legendary!!!

Great and rather obscure album cover I just came across. Not sure what the music is like though…

That Elvis cover is both funny and sad.

I thought it was a joke at first, but I know that is a real album (just never saw the cover). It’s incredible.

Elvis looks like he’s squeezing one out…
